More Poetry
Though I started flying more than three years ago, my fascination for view from a plane's window is still that of a 12 year old flying for the first time. Needless to say I try all in my might to inveigle a window seat, especially if on an international flight. While flying from Taipei to Seoul, the dense, white cloud formations found me unsuspectingly scribbling these lines on a paper napkin:
Guest
I am
a guest in the kingdom of clouds
uninvited - yes
unwelcome - perhaps
Though they let me pass
untouched, unharmed
Sometimes entertained
through myriad, changing forms
playing, singing, dancing
with rays of sun
Sometimes shaken,
gently, a kind plodding wobble
perhaps to assert their authority
reminding me
I am
a guest in the kingdom of clouds
Soul
While sailing through the kingdom of clouds
I seek my soul
Does it lurk beneath my own skin
Chaste, morose, sinking -
Or is it out with the clouds
Jiving happy afloat!
